[IB U 5 O S x o K. April iff ' ■ tT« have seen fever* I accounts of the capture of an American vessel, said to be t/j carrying muikctiy See. to Ireland* Ihi ff ecflel i» the Olive Branch, captain Bry ant, owned here, and was taken in lati l|j fode 47, longitude if, and carried into ft Porrfmouth (England.) The arms and 1? cannon (he had on board, were purebafed W in Holland, by genera! Ira Allen, of B Vermont, for the nfe of the militia of fct that (late; and we have seen an adver tlftdpnt 4a<he Vermont papers calling on the colonels of regiments to toport de ft ficiencies of arms, in order that they might be fnpplied this summer from those tiketi—when this is proved, we think the vessel and cargo will be acquit ted. A» congress-we about meeting by the prudent direftion of prefrdent Adams, the federal citizens are willing to wait , the decision of the people exptdled by their representatives. The Tallies of Petey Porcupine,- or the Biitilh la&ion in the Centinel, will be of little avail; as it is expelled on rite meeting of con greft, that the fee rets of the late ad mi nio ration will be so far brought to light, aa'tb convince the citizens ofjthe fraud in the late treaty negociation. When this -is known, every American will {accede to its abolition. .

Minerva. PHILADELPHIA, April 22. The editor of the Leyden Gazette, at •the conclusion of the address of the late Erefident to his fellow citizens of Septem er last, makes the following remarks.— << Such is the conclusion of a piece, .which completely places the Mutinous Washington, in the rank, not only of the greatest men of all ages, but (what is more) in the rank of the mod generous, the meft wife, the mod virtuous. The founder of a great republic by his courage and military talents; he has been dill more its founder, in consolidating it by his firm, prudent, and just administration .—by the tefpeft which his diftnttrefted character and his enlightened undemand ing have inspired even to his enemies and his calumniators, (for virtue, howe ver pute, is never without them) in fine, by his personal example, which has made him the model of bis refpe&able fellow citizens. As to me, in my arduous career, which -the wickedness of mankind has often planted with thorns, in (he career of a public journalist, which I have ever la boured to render ufeful to my contem poraries, it is to me a fatisfa&ion, which I feel with the liveliest sensibility, to have always known in Wa(hington the hero, the lcgiftator, the sage and the virtuous man.” SAVANNAH, May 9.

C. ‘IV. C. To the Public „ TH E fubferiber takes this method to inform the public, that he has taken a large and commodious house at colonel Cobb’s MINERAL SPRINGS, on Reedy creek, a few miles above the road leading from Augufla to Louisville, where he will accommodate, on reasonable terms, all those who may have cccajion to visit that place. A commentary upon the virtues of those waters, altko * recently difeovered, is deemed unnccejfary, as they have been ex perienced by many refpetlable valetudinari ans who can vouch Jot tktir effi* ary . Besides the advantages to be derived from the internal use of theft salubrious waters, which flow in great abundance from innu merable fouri.es, there is perhaps no place in the world where the cold, or temparate, bath can be used with greater purity or to a greater advantage . The junction of these little rivulets gliding over a bed of white sand and pebble, forms so bold a Jlream, that the trunk of a single tree fallen across its course, conjlitutcs a reservoir of this cryflaline fluid, over which a building is creeled , large enough for the bathing of twenty p erf on s at the fame time without dis turbing its transparency.—-Other baths of different conflrutlurc are eretling for the better accommodation as~well of the ojfetled as those who way visit them for amufment or the purpose of evading the difeajes inci dent to the Jultry months.—-It is a remark able, tho’ well known fad., that persons in the high'ft fever may freely use these baths to advantage . And to crown the whole, this delightful spot is Jituated in a very high and healthy part of the Jlate . The fubferioer also informs the public that he has a general assortment of groceries and a few dry goods.—An excellent bak v is about to Jet up his trade here ; and it is ex pected a market of frejh provtfions will be pretty weUfurnijhed.
